5 stars Mike Oldfield is a genius ! Listen to "Tubular Bells" and think he wrote most of the parts at the age of 17 ! I love his four first studio cd to death, but "Incantation" is just the peek of his carreer, a masterpiece, and my favorite cd ever after foxtrot and thick as a brick. Yes, some say it's long, too long...but sit down, listen to it in its entire many times, and maybe you'll understand the magic of this cd. IT'S NOT TOO LONG! it's perfect. The repetition of the melody grow in you as you listen to, and you'll ask more. The first part and the last one are my favorites, and i love so much the africain drums. The third track contains one of the most beautiful guitar solo ever by Oldfield.

For those who likes the first three albums and likes to be immerge by the beauty of the music, I highly recommend this masterpiece who makes me dream each time. Listen to this cd is an experience you'll not forget. Definitively a five stars albums!!
